How does more than half of this thread reconcile tying this subject to uncontrolled population growth when in recent decades we see with our own eyes demographics grinding to halt everywhere, even in Africa, though more slowly and it's not nearly as bad for them as it is for Rich North where they less so grind to halt and more drove off a cliff nearly everywhere (except for places that import immigrants relligiously)? It's directly related to economic and technological development, and even countries like China which mere years ago were synonymous with populations basically breeding like rabbits are openly discussed as sitting on demographic timebomb due to aging population (and there's talk about it being far far worse than official data misstates).
Seems like really antiquated way to approach the subject.
